EMPLOYMENT REQUIREMENTS Application & Payroll Paperwork Substitutes in the Carmel Unified School District must complete the employment process through the Human Resource Office. Payroll paperwork (provided in the employment packet), fingerprinting (processed through the Monterey County Office of Education Substitute Consortium at substitutes expense) and TB clearance (Adult Tuberculosis (TB) Risk Assessment Questionnaire) must be complete and on file in order to be placed on the active substitute call list. Prior to the start of each school year, substitutes already on the books will be mailed a letter asking if they plan to continue as a CUSD substitute the following school year. This letter must be returned to the District Office confirming their desired continuance in order for a substitute to remain an active substitute. If we do not receive this letter we will assume that you have chosen not to continue and your name will be removed from our active list. Certificated Substitute Qualifications Substitute teachers must hold a current credential or permit authorizing substitute service. Eligibility for a “30-Day Emergency Substitute Permit” is based on a Bachelor’s Degree and passage of the CBEST (California Basic Educational Skills Test). Information/assistance in applying for credentials/permits and/or renewals may be obtained the Monterey County Office of Education – Contact Christina Garcia at (831) 755-0300 ext. 046 or If you hold a valid California credential or permit, it must be on file with the Monterey County Office of Education. You can take it to MCOE at 901 Blanco Circle, Salinas, for registration. A copy of your credential/permit must also be included in your employment packet. Persons not previously employed in a certificated position in the state of California are required to submit a medical certificate stating the applicant is free from any disabling disease making it unsuitable for the applicant to instruct or associate with children. Forms as prescribed by the State Board of Education are included in the employment paperwork. The examination shall have been conducted not more than six (6) months before the submission of the certificate and shall be at the expense of the applicant (EC 44839). 8/12/2021 fg 4
Verification of Absence of Tuberculosis All school employees are required to provide verification of absence of T.B. An Adult Tuberculosis (TB) Risk Assessment Questionnaire must be filed with the employment paperwork. This questionnaire needs to be updated every 4 years. Verification of Fingerprint Clearance All school employees are required to have fingerprint clearance prior to starting employment. We require Substitutes be fingerprinted by The Monterey County Office of Education Fingerprint Consortium. Substitutes pay a nominal fee to have their clearance and credential information distributed to all the school districts they intend to sub for in Monterey County. Payroll Information All service time of substitutes is reported by the school sites to the Payroll Office. Payroll checks are issued on the last working day of each month for work performed from the 10th of the previous month through the 9th of the current month (i.e.: work performed from September 10th – October 9th is paid on October 31st.) Checks are available for pick up at the District Office. If your check has not been picked up by 4:00 p.m. on payday, it will be mailed to you that day. Questions about payment should be directed to Payroll Office, 624-1546. Substituting for a Classified Position Classified substitute pay varies depending on the classified position being covered. To learn the amount you will be paid you will need to pull up the correct job description (located on our website) to see the salary range for that position. Classified substitutes are paid at Step 1 of the salary range. If a certificated substitute accepts a classified position, they are paid the same as a classified substitute. Our Classified Hourly Salary Schedule is also located on our website. 8/12/2021 fg 5

Short-Term and Substitute Employees Paid Sick Leave Persons employed by the Carmel Unified School District, who are not covered by a collective bargaining unit agreement, are entitled to sick leave as outlined by the Healthy Workplaces/Healthy Families Act of 2014 effective July 1, 2015. Carmel Unified School District recognizes the rights of these individuals and outlines the procedures of enacting this law in this policy. Eligibility An employee who works for thirty (30) or more days within a year (does not have to be consecutive days) from the first day of work after July 1, 2015 is entitled to earn paid sick leave. Under this policy, a "year" is defined as July 1 through June 30. An employee covered by this policy shall be entitled to use accrued sick leave beginning on the 90th day following the first day of ACTIVE employment. Accrual Beginning July 1, 2015, twenty-four (24) hours of sick leave will be credited to any temporary or substitute employee who works for thirty (30) or more days within a year of his/her employment. Unused sick leave shall not carry over to the following year of employment. Use of Sick Leave Sick leave must be taken in minimum increments of two (2) hours not to exceed eight (8) hours in one day. Paid sick leave may be used for the diagnosis, care, or treatment of an existing health condition, as well as preventive care, for the employee or family member. Additionally, sick leave may be used for a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking. For the purposes of this policy, ''family member" is defined as follows: 1. A child, which for purposes of this article means a biological, adopted, or foster child, stepchild, legal ward, or a child to whom the employee stands in loco parentis. This definition of a child is applicable regardless of age or dependency status. 2. A biological, adoptive, or foster parent, stepparent, or legal guardian of an employee or the employee's spouse or registered domestic partner, or a person who stood in loco parentis when the employee was a minor child. 3. A spouse. 4. A registered domestic partner. 5. A grandparent. 6. A grandchild. 7. A sibling. 8/12/2021 fg 8
Absence Reporting Procedure To use sick leave, an employee covered by this policy must be scheduled in advance to report to work on the day the use of sick leave is requested. If the use of the sick leave is foreseeable, the employee shall provide reasonable advance notification of two days. If the need is unforeseeable, the request must be made by telephone conversation with the affected site secretary prior to the scheduled start time of the work shift. An individual requesting sick leave is not responsible for securing a replacement worker to cover the time during which the individual uses sick leave, only to report the absence using the required procedures. An administrator may require a doctor's note to verify the absence where an abuse of sick leave is reasonably suspected. CUSD shall not deny an individual the right to use accrued sick leave, discharge, threaten to discharge, demote, suspend, or in any manner discriminate against an individual for using accrued sick leave, attempting to exercise the right to use accrued sick leave, filing a complaint with the County Superintendent or alleging a violation of this law, cooperating in an investigation or prosecution of an alleged violation of this law, or opposing any policy or practice or act that is prohibited by this law. Payment of Sick Leave An individual will be paid no later than the payday for the next regular payroll period after the sick leave is requested and taken provided a Substitute Sick Leave Form (located on the last page of this handbook) is completed and provided to the site secretary. The rate of pay will be at the rate of the assignment the individual was scheduled to work on the day of request for use of sick leave. Separation of Employment Employees covered under this policy will not be provided compensation for unused accrued sick leave upon separation of employment. However, if rehired within one year from the date of separation, previously accrued sick leave shall be reinstated. The employee shall be entitled to use previously accrued and unused paid sick leave and to accrue additional paid sick leave upon rehiring. Recordkeeping CUSD shall keep for at least three years records documenting the hours worked and paid sick days accrued and used by an employee, and shall allow the Labor Commissioner to access these records. CUSD shall make these records available to the employee in the same manner. Legal Reference: LABOR CODE 245-249 Healthy Workplace, Healthy Families Ad Approved: 07/13/15 8/12/2021 fg 9

Policy 4121: Temporary/Substitute Personnel Status: ADOPTED Original Adopted Date: 03/21/2018 The Board of Education recognizes that substitute and temporary personnel perform an essential role in promoting student achievement and desires to employ highly qualified, appropriately credentialed employees to fill such positions.

(Education Code 44977, 45030) Temporary employees shall not participate in the health and welfare plans or other fringe benefits of the district. Paid Sick Leave Except for a retired annuitant who is not reinstated to the retirement system, any temporary or substitute employee who works for 30 or more days within a year of his/her employment shall be credited with 24 hours of paid sick leave for that year.

The Superintendent or designee shall display a poster containing required information, provide notice to eligible employees of their sick leave rights, keep records of employees' use of sick leave for three years, and comply with other requirements specified in Labor Code 245-249 and in AR 4161.1/4361.1 - Personal Illness/Injury Leave. Release from Employment/Dismissal The Board may dismiss a substitute employee at any time at its discretion.

With the exception of on-call, day-to-day substitutes, if a temporary or substitute employee performs the duties normally required of certificated employees for at least 75 percent of the number of days the regular schools of the district were maintained in that school year and is then employed as a probationary employee for the following school year, his/her previous employment as a temporary or substitute employee shall be credited as one year's employment as a probationary employee for purposes of acquiring permanent status. (Education Code 44917, 44918, 44920) (cf. 4116 - Probationary/Permanent Status) Vacant position means a position in which the employee is qualified to serve and which is not filled by a permanent or probationary employee.

Preference for available positions shall be determined by the Board as prescribed by Education Code 44845 and 44846. (Education Code 44921) With the exception of on-call, day-to-day substitutes, any temporary or substitute employee who was released pursuant to Education Code 44954 but who has nevertheless served in a certificated position in the district for at least 75 percent of each of two consecutive school years shall receive first priority if the district fills a vacant position for the subsequent school year at the grade level at which the employee served during either year. In the case of a departmentalized program, the employee shall have taught the subject matter in which the vacant position occurs. (Education Code 44918) 8/12/2021 fg 16
